Request for Inclusion on City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties – 79 Dawlish Avenue |

(June 4, 2010) Member Motion from Councillor Jenkins |
Recommendations |
Councillor Jenkins recommends that:
1. North York Community Council recommend to City Council, the inclusion of 79 Dawlish Avenue on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties. |
Summary |
With its steeply-pitched roof and pointed dormers evoking French-Canadian architecture styles, 79 Dawlish has a distinctive and much-admired presence in Lawrence Park.
Built in 1928, it was designed and occupied by the notable architect Forsey Page who lived there until 1933. Page, with various partners, designed a number of houses in Lawrence Park, and the firm Page and Steele designed many landmark Toronto buildings including the Garden Court Apartments on Bayview, Benvenuto Place, and Commerce Court. Page served as president of both the Ontario Association of Architects and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. The property is included in the Toronto Public Library Board’s Historical Walking Tour of Lawrence Park, 2007.
This property has cultural heritage value and contributes significantly to the character of the Lawrence Park area. Inclusion on the City of Toronto heritage inventory would enable staff to monitor the property and be advised of any request for a demolition permit.
The Toronto Preservation Board at its meeting on May 28:
· Endorsed the nomination of several properties in Lawrence Park, including 79 Dawlish, as candidates for designation under the Ontario Heritage Act, and · Requested the Acting Manager, Heritage Preservation Services to prioritize the review of 79 Dawlish Avenue.
The North York Community Preservation Panel (NYCPP) passed a resolution requesting designation of 79 Dawlish Avenue under the Ontario Heritage Act at its May 17 meeting. Additional documentation with respect to the architectural and historical value of the 79 Dawlish property is attached, inlcuding:
· a recent photograph · several photographs from the January 1929 article in Canadian Homes and Gardens · photos of several architectural drawings from the North Toronto Historical Society Archives · letter dated May 17, 2010 from Marta O'Brien describing the architecture of the house and giving biographical details of Forsey Page. |

Summary |
The Lawrence Allen Revitalization Plan (LARP) is a 20-year plan for the evolution of the Lawrence-Allen area and the Lawrence Heights neighbourhood that is at its core. It articulates a vision for the area, lays out a new physical plan and recommends short term and long term directions for a Secondary Plan. It suggests implementation tools to establish a comprehensive planning framework for the Lawrence-Allen Area.
This plan is the outcome of nearly two years of coordinated planning study by the City of Toronto, Toronto Community Housing Corporation, and Toronto District School Board. It addresses a study area bounded by Lawrence Avenue West, Bathurst Street, Dufferin Street, and Highway 401 with particular focus on a 75 hectare area encompassing Toronto Community Housing’s Lawrence Heights neighbourhood and the lands which are interwoven with it. The Lawrence-Allen Revitalization Plan is not attached to this report but can be accessed at www.toronto.ca/lawrenceallen.htm.
The plan describes a mixed-income, mixed-use neighbourhood which is park-centred, transit-supportive, and well integrated with the broader city. Through public and private reinvestment, it provides for the replacement of all 1,208 existing social housing units along with 5,500 to 6,300 new market units. Combined with this is a doubling of public parkland, new schools, community facilities and retail opportunities.
Over a multi-phase, twenty year implementation period, order of magnitude costs for the public infrastructure of the plan are estimated at about $240.605 million. |
Financial Impact | ||||||||||||||||||
The Lawrence Allen Revitalization Plan (LARP) will lay the foundation for a major building initiative in the City. The anticipated scale of change in this area resulting from the LARP is significant. The plan provides a vision for the area over the next twenty years and redevelopment will occur through a series of phases. The LARP lays out a new physical plan including the full replacement of all 1,208 social housing units within TCHC's Lawrence Heights community and the integrated development of market housing within the study area.
In addition to the housing development, significant reinvestment in City infrastructure and community facilities will be required. Preliminary order of magnitude costs for the infrastructure have been developed to inform a future financial strategy to implement the LARP as recommended in this report. The estimated costs of City infrastructure such as roads, sewers, and community facilities such as parks, libraries and child care centres is approximately $240 million in constant 2010 dollars.
All preliminary servicing (roads and water) infrastructure order of magnitude costs are based on the following cost assumptions:
- Based on 2010 dollars; - Include a 15% engineering fee; - Include a 30% contingency; - Include the removal of existing municipal infrastructure; - Exclude the removal, replacement, relocation and installation of utility infrastructure; - Exclude all applicable taxes.
It should be noted that the order of magnitude costs are preliminary and must be reviewed in conjunction with the City’s 2011 Capital Budget and 2012 to 2020 Capital Plan. They do not include ongoing operating and maintenance costs once new infrastructure is completed and exclude other related projects in the area, such as major improvements to Allen Road and TTC transit station improvements. Furthermore, the cost of acquiring and remediating additional parkland where possible to improve parkland provision in the area is also not included in the order of magnitude estimate.
Included in this estimate are certain short term capital deficiencies in the order of $2.35 million that may be examined independent from the overall study. These include improvements to the Lawrence and Allen Road intersection, the Ranee Avenue Underpass and the Yorkdale and Allen Intersection. Transportation Services will include funding for these improvements in their 2011 Capital Budget and 2012 to 2020 Capital Plan submission, in an amount not to exceed $2.35 million, within their debt affordability target. As these improvement estimates are preliminary, should costs exceed $2.35 million, the General Manager of Transportation Services may request additional funding, as long as the funding can be accommodated within the Transportation 10-year debt affordability targets. In addition, the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation will include the costs for the Public Realm Master Plan within the program 2011 Capital Budget submission, within specified debt target limits.
The financial strategy report will address the costs in greater detail and identify possible sources of funds between the City (including rate supported programs and Development Charges), TCHC, and other orders of government.
The Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the Financial Impact Statement. |
